ton to such matters, but usually
voted the "Republican" ticket.
The Communists" are Chris
tians, also. They have chapel,
and the building abounds with
printed evidences Of Christianity.
The "free love" arrangement of
these Christian brothers Is no longer
carried on, al least outwardly, mar
riage having been adopted in con-
formity with the laws of the State.
Nor do the ladies wear bloomer cos
tunes; they dress very much like
well-to-do farmers wives, and a trihe
old-fashioned.
The isolation of the Community
has had its effect upon the people
there, and their mental horizon is
but little greater than the bounda-
ries of the Community. And in the
large dormitory buildings. where
the private rooms open into family
parlors, there is an absence OF mod
ern elegance and refinement that is
quite noticeable, when one considers
that poverty is not factor.
Although the Communists" call
themselves Socialists, they are not
Socialists, even to the extent of CO.
operative production. Of course,
they are in the position of the
would-be private co-operators-gov-
erned by surrounding conditions.
They will become Socialists when
the rest of the people are Socialists,
and the State is Sociallzed.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

A late capitalistic telegram says
that a truce will be patched up be-
tween Mr.. George and the Socialists,
and that George will shortly hold
forth the olive branch of Peace. !"
Inasmuch as Mr.. George is playing
a policy game it is not unlikely that
when he finds the Socialists likely to
spoil his selfish political calculations
he will seek to heal the rupture.
The New York Socialists should be-
ware of Mr.. George as a man whose
political aspirations have caused
him TO join the capltalistic garg of
political vultures in condemning the
men who have first. last and all the
time been TIM bravest fighters in
the ranks of labor-the Socialists. -

CHRISTIAN COMMUNISTS. 3"

The Oneida Community was in.
vaded by nine live Socialists one day
last week, and an inspection of the
place was facilitated by Y. &. Noyes,
the president of the concern, and
son of John A. Noyes, its founder.
In the first place, the Community
is not at all socalistic concern,
but, on the contrary, is capitals
tic. Seventy-ive of the original
Communists are stockholders, and
they carry on extensive hardware,
canning and silk industries. They
hire their laborers at current wages,
and sell the product at a flair prof
it,"
Conversation with Mr.. Noyes de-
yeloped the fact that his knowledge
of Socialism was quite insignificant,
and the mere mention of the alb
sence of Marx and Gronlund from
their library will be sufficient to es-
tablish the standard of the commun-
ity from a socialistic standpoint.
MIR. Noyes, when questioned as to
his politics, said he paid little atten-

New HAVEN, OCTOBER |, 1887.
OUR PARTY CONGRESS.

WV fNi' W.
The recent congress of the Social
istic Labor Party at Buffalo will no
doubt be acknowledged on all hands
to have been success and IL help to
the advancement Of Socialism. 1t
proved that there IS certain una
nlmity among Socialists widely sep
arated, which is of itself matter for
congratulatlon, The necessity for
the existence Of the party was dem
onstrated by the increased represen-
tatlon and the arguments upon the
points of our platform and constitu-
ton.
The friendly approach of our com
radcs of the international Working
mems Association, and the closer
bonds of "klndred minds" in the
West were encouraging signs. Nor
is it impossible that in the near fu-
ture the Soclalistlc Labor Party may
have to take the lead in labor poll
tics, as it does now in the propagan-
da of labor doctrine.
The activity, perseverance, and
generosity of our German comrades
will ever be a bright example for the
party as it gradually becomes the
American party of labor. Nor will
the international character of the
labor movement be forgotten in the
contemplation of the work of the
German Socialists in this country in
behalf of their comrades in Ger
many, struggling against thrice pan
piled Imperialism and aristocracy.
The usefulness of the Socialists in
the labor movement has been sulli-
clcntly acknowledged, and their UNI
compromising opposition to political
mesalllances and devotion to the in
tercsts of the working people needs
no comment.
The action of the congress regard
ing labor parties WAS liberal and con-
slstent, and all preparatory schools
of labor politics can depend upon
the active support of Socialists at the
polls in the order of their advance
mcnt. But progress is demanded.
TO our American comrades we
would say: Go to work . The phi
losophy of socialism comprehends
work, and the greater our agita-
ton among our American friends,
the greater will be the speed of evo-
luton, for knowledge is prercquis-
tie to the highest practical ideal of
civilization, Socialism.
There are many reapers of the
WoRKMENs' ADVOCATE who might
aid materially by the organi-
zation of sections in their locality,
and thus bring on the glorious in
evitable" little sooner. Comrades,

ing the working men into the old
party ruts was played out, and some
new device must be found to prevent
the workingmon from organizing
upon "a solid labor basis in a politl-
cal party. Thus within the last few
years we have had several new
lledged 'parties" with the name
"Labor' prominently woven into the
title. But the organized workmen
did not vote with them, and one by
one they practically vanished.
Last years effort by the New York
Central Labor Union was a success,
and would have remained one, had
not their ovcr-trustcd nominee 1et
the cat out of the bag" by protest
ing that he only wanted to tax land
TO its full rental value, and take the
taxes off every other kind Of capital.
Still, there WAS hope that at State
Convention, the labor element would
be in the majority; but the practical
politicians OF the CrOasdalc- Nc Mack
in school forestallcd that possibility.
Labor delegates were expelled and
specially selected delegates were ad-
mittcd, thus changing the complex
ion Of the convention, and leaving
poor Labor to 90 forth md seek fur
ther. Meanwhile the West was en-
joying u mild 1abor" boom, and the
Union Labor Party stands for the
farmers and conservative labor men
Of the West. What it may become
in the future, remains to be seen,
but there are ccrtainly good clements
in the Union Labor Party of the
West.
The latest development in New
York, the Progressive Labor Party,
has platform which is more pro-
nounced than any other of the So
called labor parties in favor of the
wago-workers. The party itself is
composed of trades unionists, mainly,
and naturally can be more easily re-
cognlzed as IL labor party than the
Union or the Land-tax parties. But
so far, it is Il local affair. and indeed
it was created by local conditions.
In a short time there will be a
recognized need for Il general upris-
ing Of the working people upon a
platform that is uncquivocally La
Dor platform, and in the form of Il
party that is historically q Labor
party. The opportunity that was
neglected in New York may at any
time offer itself again in other places,
and when our comrades have made
up their minds that the Socialistit
Labor Party's platform is the best
labor platform, and that the Ameri
can prototype of the labor parties o.
Germany, France, Spain, Italy
Denmark, Holland, Belgium, anc
England, is the party most likely tC
endure rs II labor party, then tn,
political labor movement will begir
in earnest in America, and any pro
grcss made will be substantial, anC

is taxation made popular.

The principal topic OF discussion
among the ministers gathered this

the startling announcement made yes

Twenty.second Ward, to the congre-
CATION by the pastor, the Rev. Viii.

Mr.. Gilbert called on local preacher
named Jackson to lead in prayer,
after which he stated that he had for
some time been uneasy in his mind,
but had finally concluded not to
preach what he did not be-
ieve. he subsequently said to
members OF his congregation that
he did not believe in the divinity
of the Bible, and did not know
anything aboutimmortality or Width
er there was q God. Several of the
ministers this morning expressed great
surprise at the detection Of Mr.. Gill
bert, although some said it was moth
ing more than they expected, as Mr..
Gilbert had not bean sound in his
views for some time. The Rev. W. Nj.
Gilbert is about 40 years of age, and
has been in the ministry about twenty
years. He had held several important
